The Florists' Review 



March 11, 1915. 



The Utah Nursery Co. has taken out 

 incorporation papers at Los Augele.^, 

 Cal. The incorporators are A. J., B. C 

 and K. G. Vorse. The capital stock is 

 fixed at $5,000, of which $30 has been 

 subscribed. 



The alien employees of two of the 

 largest nurseries at Monroe, Mich., ac- 

 «ording to a Detroit daily, have walked 

 out and demand a 50-cent daily increase 

 before returning to work. It is said 

 that strikers used clubs and other 

 weapons to prevent others from resum- 

 ing work at the old rate of wages. 



THE EFFECT OF THE WAR. 



In the discussion at the Ohio Nur- 

 serymen's Association meeting follow- 

 ing the paper of T. J. Dinsmore, of 

 Troy, on "The Effect of the War 

 on Nursery Stock Importations,"- the 

 fact was brought out that although 

 the United States may be used as a 

 dumping ground for more or less stock 

 from Holland and other fruit tree 

 growing countries, because they cannot 

 sell the stock to England and Germany, 

 the extent of this will not be so large 

 as might be supposed, owing to the 

 fact that United States nurserymen 

 have no call for any great amount of 

 stock of the kinds that these countries 

 use. Standard roses are cited as an 

 illustration; these are used in Ger- 

 many quite extensively and success- 

 fully, while they are not so success- 

 ful in this country. As a result, there- 

 fore, standard roses are offered at one- 

 third the price asked before the war. 

 ilardy hybrid roses and a few simihir 

 lines are being priced lower in each 

 list that is coming out now. 



Trouble is looked for next season, for 

 the reason pointed out on this page 

 January 21. Stock is likely to be scarce 

 in some lines because it will not be 

 planted by nurserymen abroad. Of 

 course, this does not apply to Holland.

 larger than for any similar period of 

 the year. Dr. Britton said the effect 

 of the war would be to make Connecti-

fHERE you will find all kinds, 



and you can take your pick from 



the best that grow. Perennials 



add a feeling of permanency to your 



home surroundings. They change 



their plumage, but not their face, 



and keep reflecting the seasons all 



the year around. 



No grounds are really gardened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We are 

 headquarters for perennials, and assure 

 the widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and service. Our motto— 



"Maximum Quality at Minimum Cost."
